Unplug the ICP sensor and see if it starts with a default voltage. May be a bad ICP sensor. On AE software, the 1212 code shows low ICP when cranking. Have you checked your HPOP reservoir level?
The gauge needs to go the HPO rail. The plugs are #5 o-ring boss and are NOT tapered thread(NPT.) The arrow points to the plug that I use with my mechanical guage. Make sure the hose has adequate rating too.
